It’s scary over there

I learn something new every day over on the BG side. Here's some tips on "picking up chicks" that could also be applied to the DB.....

ALARMEDDUDE,

And that ain't the half of it. If you go back far enough, you will find the following BG Off Topic threads:

Poll: Who would win in a fight? KOOL AID MAN vs. MICHELIN MAN

Have You Named Your Strap?

Post Pics of your Imaginary Girlfriend

Are all Female Bassists Hot?

If You could Name your Bass, What would you call it?

Farting in the Car

How Much can you Drink before you Puke?

...and one whose title I can't remember, but which somehow morphed into "Places you've masturbated in public" before the moderator mercifully put it out of its misery. (This one may have been under "Bass Humor)

Kinda sounds like what might happen if Kafka got to write one of Letterman's "Top 10" lists, huh? It can indeed be frightening in the shallow end of the pool. The water has all of these warm yellow patches, too. Hmmm......

GRUFFY,

I haven't read that thread, but I was wondering...would either or both of those happen to be PENETRATING OILS, perhaps?

No, WD-40 it's a Water Displacer and Liquid Wrench is a Non-Flammable Super Lubricant.

You’re spending a little too much time in the gutter CF.

Right... I use WD-40 whenever I want my water over there .

Oh, that's a water mis-placer. Nevermind.

Hey, four cans was enough for Jaco.

Some of Munji's better work methinks; but I don't recall his name ever being Fuqua'd - surely a prime candidate - maybe even deserving of a whole thread?

Well, if anybody over here had thought for even one microsecond that MONKEYBOOGERS was being serious, then I'm sure someone would have......

DOH!

HURLIN',

Don't get me wrong: the "Sparky Test" thread was pretty stupid, but it lacked the blazing neon "LOOK!!! I HAVE NO LIFE, SO I'M GONNA POST A TOTALLY STUPID THREAD" sign which would have catapulted it upward into eternal infamy.

Nice try, though...

Good point. Although Jazzbo still closes threads from people asking about this sparky thing. and it is in Signatures.

Just a "heads up" (no pun intended): There is now a poll entitled something like "Bass vs. Sex" in BG Miscellaneous. At the moment I'm writing this, the thread is 3 pages long.

As if that in itself isn't frightening enough, the word on the street is that sex is losing.

It is indeed scary over there...
